How can I make my mobile phone take more beautiful photos?

In most modern smart phones, the shooting function is becoming more and more powerful, and almost everyone can become a photographer. Even a mobile phone with poor pixels can take good photos with sufficient light and skillful shooting skills. How to shoot? In order to facilitate your study, we can take high-quality photos by simplifying the content and following the background, distance, mobile phone settings, lighting and other factors.

I. Applicable conditions

One of the main rules of a photographer is to choose the right conditions, especially the light. Even a camera with excellent performance and a mobile phone with powerful flash can't get high-quality images in the evening or at night or in bad weather.

When shooting in full light, smart phones can compete with professional cameras.

The ideal shooting time is considered as morning and evening, and the best place is on the street. If you must shoot indoors, it is recommended to use the light outside the window. In the dark, it is worthwhile to choose to shoot objects close to the light source-although it is best not to shoot with a smartphone camera at night.

Second, the correct background.

Pay attention to the choice of background before taking pictures with your mobile phone. The background should be clean enough not to distract attention. It is recommended to choose a background without obvious patterns. In order to get a good shooting effect, please pay attention to the use of blank space.

In some photos, the blank background may look unreal, so you should try to choose textures to increase the streamline of the image. Therefore, it is suitable to use wooden fences, brick walls and vines wrapped around grapes. Don't make the picture too empty.

Third, the appropriate shooting distance.

Another key point is the shooting distance. If you shoot people with a forest as the background, the distance should not exceed 5 meters, otherwise the photos will not be very attractive. Don't get too close. The best photos are taken at a distance of about 1.5-2 meters, so that people and their surroundings can be photographed at the same time.

Another way to take beautiful photos on mobile phones is to blur the background of photos to produce depth and three-dimensional effects. It can be obtained by focusing the subject more closely and accurately than traditional shooting. For people's photos, this option is not necessarily suitable and needs to be used flexibly.

When shooting at a distance, some photographers will use the digital zoom of their smartphones to zoom in. However, this technology will not help to obtain high-quality photos. It is best to shorten the distance. If the effect is not good, optical zoom should be used.

Fourth, use the camera grid.

One way to improve the quality of photos is to turn on and use special camera lines. This method is suitable for horizontal and vertical photos. In the settings of the camera application, the grid will be opened and the screen will be divided into 9 squares.

The division principle is based on the "trichotomy". According to this principle, the composition should be divided into two parts: vertical and horizontal. The theme is best placed at the intersection of straight lines or one of them. Grids can also be used to align the horizon.

Five, portrait

When you decide that you need to take a beautiful selfie with your mobile phone, you should know that the picture should not be just a face or a head. Even if I took a lot of photos, it didn't look very attractive. Because the wide-angle lens is installed on the smartphone camera, the face looks deformed. If the distance between the photographer and the subject is large, you can see not only the head, but also the shoulders and upper body, so that the deformation will not be so obvious and the sense of the picture will not be damaged.

When taking photos, some suggestions worth considering can take good photos:

1. If you take several photos from different angles, change the shooting angle and shooting point, such as getting closer or farther away, tilting the phone, crouching, etc. The image will become more interesting.

2. When shooting a moving object, it is worthwhile to take several photos from one angle, so as to take the best moving photos.

3. In order to get good photos of still objects, we can try to find symmetry. Symmetrical arrangement of details can make the picture harmonious and proportional. You can shoot still lives, buildings and portraits in this way, but you can't shoot nature.

4. If the lines (rails, roads, stairs) that can attract the viewer's attention fall into the picture, they can be located in the central part of the composition.

5. Wipe the lens of the mobile phone before shooting. This problem can be solved by using soft cloth or microfiber cloth specially used for cleaning optical devices.

6. When shooting with a smartphone, don't worry about shooting even if it is stable. It is recommended to hold the phone firmly with both hands. The less the photographer moves, the better the shooting effect will be. Rely on walls, tables and supports to create a sense of stillness.

7. Use panoramic mode when shooting scenery. When opened, multiple photos will be automatically created and combined into a wide image. Therefore, a panoramic view of 180 degrees or even 360 degrees is obtained.

8. It is recommended to use a tripod or a monopod to take panoramic photos-when trying to take photos with a mobile phone in your hand, it usually leads to unclear middle images and vertical deviation in various parts of the image.

Six, camera settings

In the method of taking beautiful photos with mobile phones, it is worth emphasizing the correct camera settings. Moreover, although many smartphone owners will choose the default settings, it is recommended to set the exposure and ISO manually at least. In order to improve the clarity and get really attractive photos, including HDR mode, almost all modern mobile phones support this mode.

6. 1, ISO adjustment

If the picture is blurred, it is worth trying to make a new photo by setting another parameter-ISO or sensitivity. This is done to maintain and improve the photo quality under certain conditions:

Shoot indoors or under the cover of hands-in this case, ISO will increase;

At night, it is recommended to use a tripod and set a lower sensitivity value;

When shooting moving objects, it is also worth setting the ISO higher.

On some models of mobile phones, it is not possible to manually change the ISO in standard applications. To make changes, you must download a third-party program.

6.2, HDR mode

Users of modern smartphones should not forget to use the HDR mode that is available in most models. With this technology, two photos with different exposures can be taken almost at the same time. When they are combined into a photo, the automatic device will remove areas that are too bright, otherwise they will become dark. The result is usually a beautiful frame with no distinguishable objects.

HDR mode must be used when shooting under high contrast conditions. After discarding it, you can get a room photo with bright white spots instead of windows. Without HDR, it is impossible to photograph buildings against a bright sun background.

These are the skills of mobile phone photography. Mastering the above skills can take high-quality photos!
